... curses, you beat me to the punch on this. I saw an article on this topic 12 hours ago.

Recent results suggest that a fairly cheap drug may help reduce the aging systems, and it is possible it may have similar effects on normal humans.

It would be interesting to see how the cellular metabolisms of the senescent and progeria victims compare.

On a related note, in a strain of mice which age unusually quickly, there's been success delaying many symptoms of aging by removing senescent cells.

Hence the SENS project to do just that with white blood cells. I wonder if it could be applied more generally, though.
